Say
\nHi To Your Mom<\/a>, recently changed their name to the shorter “Say Hi”, and put
\nout their newest album, “The Wishes and the Glitch”. The album is supposed
\nto be released on Feb. 5th, but if you are up on the interweb stuff you can
\norder it from their website and get it now. It is a mere $7 for the
\ndigital download, which is I think a bit inaccurately named as the “Immediate
\nDigital Download” because I ordered two hours ago but haven’t received any
\ndownload instructions yet. I suppose they will show up within a day or so,
\nbut that doesn’t quite fit my description of “Immediate”. More like,
\nrapid. According to the FAQ, you should get the link for the download from
\n12-24 hours after your order, or on Monday if you hit them up over the
\nweekend. I guess that means that they have a human approving the process
\nsomehow, which kind of baffles me since you really can automate the whole
\nprocess. It is kind of rapid I guess, but not nearly what I would call
\n“Immediate”.<\/p>\nStill, I’m a huge Say Hi fan, I absolutely love their 2004 album “Numbers and
\nMumbles”, and like their other stuff as well. I’m really excited to listen
\nto the new one – even more than the new Radiohead album. With Radiohead, I
\nexpect a good album. With Say Hi, I expected something that could be only
\ngood, but might possibly be mind-blowing, or at least has a very good chance of
\nbeing very specific to me and my life. What I mean is that I can sometimes
\nvery strongly identify with Say Hi’s music in a way that the more large-issue,
\nbig-world, Radiohead stuff doesn’t reach me. <\/p>\n
Radiohead will not sing about being a 13-year-old kid hanging out with your
\nfriends dreaming of robots and spaceships. Say Hi very well might.
\nOr he might have a song about falling in love with a girl, and then falling out
\nof love with that girl, but not wanting to face it, and wanting to talk about
\nspaceships instead of the relationship. Sometimes I misunderstand and
\nrelate so poorly to women that I don’t understand why a conversation about
\nspaceship design would be a bad thing when we should be talking about failings
\nin communication about our relationship. <\/p>\n
I really like the range that can come out of Say Hi. Of course, not
\neverything is gold, but I think having valleys to go along with your peaks makes
\nlife more interesting.<\/p>\n
